How To Keep Dust To A Minimum In Your Home

1. How To Keep Dust To A Minimum In Your Home

2. No matter where we live, what style our home is, or even how clean we keep it, dust will always be present, but we can learn to keep it at a minimum. Preventing dust from settling is the key, and here are a few tips: • Try to avoid having too many ornaments and knickknacks Such items can of course look nice in your home, and if they are larger, cleaning them is much less time consuming. But fill your shelves and surfaces with small items that will attract dust and be fiddly to clean, is just a recipe for a dusty disaster.

3. Use allergen reducing covers on your bed linen Waking up with a stuffy noise every morning, maybe a clear indicator of a dust allergy. But using special covers for your sheets and pillows that deter dust from settling on them, will certainly help with dust allergies. Remember to wash the covers at least twice a year in hot water. • Place doormats outside every entrance way to your home Putting heavy duty doormats with a tight weave and rubber backs outside every doorway, will help prevent dirt and dust particles from coming into your home with every person that enters.

4. Consider buying air purifiers Air purifiers can really help to eliminate dust before it has a chance to settle, and placing them in the most used rooms of your home can dramatically reduce the dust levels. Fan powered purifiers are the most environmentally friendly and prices can vary depending on your budget. • Monitor humidity levels in every room of your home Humidity levels in your home should ideally be between 40 and 50% to prevent unhealthy airborne particles from breeding. Static is also greatly reduced when these levels are kept in check, and static attracts dust.

5. You can keep humidity levels in check by purchasing a digital humidity meter or hygrometer, available in all good hardware stores. • Swap drapes for blinds wherever possible Blinds made of plastic, wood or metal are so much easier to clean than fabric drapes, and we all know that whatever we hang at our windows will attract dust, so why make life harder for ourselves than it already is? You can use a microfibre cloth or an electrostatic duster on blinds, and if you must have drapes, then simply use the upholstery tool on your vacuum cleaner to suck the dust off.

6. Try to avoid using fabric softener or dryer sheets when washing cleaning cloths It can be automatic to use fabric softener or dryer sheets when we’re cleaning our cleaning cloths, just as we would with the rest of our laundry, but doing so can drastically reduce their ability to attract and hold dust, and absorb liquids. If you’re struggling to keep dust to a minimum in your home, then why not call in the professionals and have them regularly clean your home to ensure that dust doesn’t get a chance to become a problem? Most cleaning companies have flexible schedules and budgets to suit your every need, and will keep your home, clean, tidy and dust free.
